    Hough Ear Institute's Hair Cell Regeneration Project

    First they ask for donations, then they say pill, then they say a journalist got things wrong, then Oblato's website mentions nothing about hearing loss in their pipeline, then they say it's a cancer pill that works for the ears, then they say their pill can cure everything from hearing loss...

    Otonomy OTO-313 — Treatment of Tinnitus

    Can someone refresh my memory? OTO-313's (for tinnitus) compound is Gacyclidine. What is the mechanism of action for this drug? If this doesn't restore hair cells or synapses, how is this intended to quite tinnitus? Or to rephrase the question, this compound will do what to the damaged cochlea...

    Frequency Therapeutics — FX-345

    My guess is a Phase 3 FX-322 trial will run simultaneously with a FX-345 phase 2/pivotal trial in 2023... Since Frequency Therapeutics is on a fast track designator, an approval for the drug can come in 6 months after the above-mentioned trial in 2023.

    If you jump to the conclusion section, it will be scarier: “Even the median variation in sound pressure at the ear could contribute an error of 4 dB in hearing threshold values, which is sufficient to cause misdiagnosis on an audiogram. Where the degree of variation is at its highest, there is...

    I feel not everyone is understanding what's happening, here is an example: Michael and Laura are desperate to get FX-322, so they both apply for the Phase 2a trials: Michael in reality can hear 30 words out of 50, but as he is desperate, he fakes his initial screening to get into the trial...

    Yes, those patients had improvement in word scores only. With current formulation and delivery method no audiogram improvement was ever recorded till date. In future studies, Frequency Therapeutics wants to try multiple doses far away from each other to see if it provides better results in...

    You cannot take or compare anything from Phase 2a. Phase 2a does not have a verified baseline from anyone, so please stop considering Phase 2a with anything. Phase 2a is just a complete garbage. If you don't have verified baseline from either placebo or candidates who took the drug, then it's...

    You got many things mixed up. I'm using my phone so I'll try to be as clear and brief as possible: Phase 1/2 is being claimed as successful, it was placebo controlled, and had good responders. But the issue here is that this study was done way before they learnt their lesson about bias...

    It's for this very reason that they should have done a placebo-controlled Phase 1 for moderate hearing loss. It was their chance to prove their claim, regardless if it costs money or time... This is a public company... and the public have the right to this. Instead of going out tweeting...

    Why Frequency Therapeutics did NOT do a Phase 1 placebo-controlled study for moderate hearing loss cases? They did it as an open label. Why did they not also conduct a placebo control for the group that they initially believe has responded to the drug? Are they scared of something? I mean, they...

    It should have been done to both ears (one drug and the other placebo) in order to cross check and verify if the candidate was lying… In the 111 study open label, the candidate knows exactly which ear is being treated and which not… so how is this going to be validated? You hope that the...

    @Diesel “The FX-322-111 study was not placebo controlled, though the study analysis of untreated ears also showed zero percent (0%) exceeding 95% CI from the baseline to day 90 for the WR test” Can you please advise for the study FX-322-111, did the candidates get treated in 1 ear only? And...

    What makes you feel sure that those who showed 10% improvement did not fake their WR also? Why do you only consider the placebo group as biased and not also the ones who improved?

    It is already confirmed that FX-322 can pass through the Round Window. The question was, once the drug has already passed through the Round Window and is inside the cochlea, everything there is liquid, so the drug can diffuse everywhere:
  54. ThomasRobert

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    If anyone can advise please, if the cochlea is liquid, why is there a problem with the delivery?

    So if the cochlea is liquid, why is there a problem with the delivery? The drug would diffuse everywhere!
  56. ThomasRobert

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    Maybe FX-322 does not reach the Outer Hair Cells. That could be the reason we are getting a response on word scores only since Inner Hair Cells are responsible for word scores. For example, here we could see the drug just flowing over the Inner Hair Cells, and not reaching the Outer Hair Cells:

    It means the environment and condition of the support cells in the ear are healthy enough for the drug to carry its intended purpose.

    FX-322 works. To see it in Audiograms, you have to wait longer while they modify the delivery method.
